Another Iowa State Preview

From the Des Moines Register:
Michigan, 10-20 last season, is 3-0 for the first time in five seasons. The Wolverines' new coach is Kevin Borseth, formerly of Wisconsin-Green Bay. They are led by forward-center Ta'Shia Walker, who averages 12 points per game. They receive 10.7 points per game from 6-foot 6-inch center Krista Phillips, who started last season but is a reserve in Borseth's system, which features more 3-point shooting.When Phillips plays, Iowa State could counter the Wolverines' height using centers Nicky Wieben and Jocelyn Anderson in a double post.

"We practice that every day," Fennelly said. "The problem is you have to be careful that you don't get too concerned about matching up size for size and it hurts you in other areas. We can go with a big lineup, but our ball-handling suffers. Sometimes you have to pick and choose."
